"In discussions of Scott Walker's body of work 1970's 'Til The Band Comes In is unfairly left out or, even worse, derided as excruciatingly saccharine. However, the first ten songs on this album, all Walker originals, are on par with his finest work on classic albums Scott 3 and Scott 4. While the covers that close out the album (with the notable exception of 'It's Over') do feel like additions that reek of label pressure, it shouldn't detract from the rest of the record. Scott Walker's fifth solo album is a fine example of the early work from one of pop music's most idiosyncratic geniuses, reissued on CD for the first time domestically."
